The image shows a train station with many people under an overhang. The platform is crowded with individuals dressed warmly. In the distance, a train is approaching with smoke billowing out. The painting depicts a cold setting with detailed figures. The brushstrokes create a textured quality with a contrast between dark figures and a light sky. The entire image is in grayscale.
